The 1962 Sino-India war is a painful reminder of how India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru miscalculated Chinese intentions. And while India faced a battering at the hands of the Chinese along the Himalayan border, there were innumerable stories on individual bravery. One such a story is that of Subedar Joginder Singh of the Sikh regiment, who fought near Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh and died in the war. He was awarded the Param Vir Chakra.
Playing the titular role is Gippy Grewal in the upcoming Punjabi film, Subedar Joginder Singh. A trailer of the film was unveiled on Friday. The 3-minute video shows Singh’s life arc — a youngster who joins the British Indian Army, a lover, a son and a father. However, a major part of the trailer deals with Joginder who must lead a small set of 21 soldiers, fighting a wave of Chinese soldiers in 1962. The small band of men of the Sikh regiment fight till the last man.
